    About US $3000 over 20 years. Not as much as I thought, to be honest. I wait for sales and try not to buy things unless I’m sure I’ll play it.

    Apparently about $1000, which feels like a lot until I see some of the bananas-ass responses here.

    1,205 games. $6,516 as of today. 19 year account.

    The depressing part is that of the 1,205 games, 986 (81.8%) are showing as unplayed.

    $0 because if steam deletes my library I’m going to pirate it back with 0 remorse

    More than $6815.18, because my account is older than 2015 and purchases only go back to 2015.

    But in reality, I will just reacquire the games if my library gets taken. Barnes & Noble isn’t breaking into my home to take books out of my bookshelf, it is not unreasonable to demand digital products are treated the same. So I treat them the same, regardless of what moron politicians say.

    I don’t get the question.

    The money is gone now, so it’s already “lost”.

    Or do you mean how many games did I buy that I have never played? That is an interesting metric I guess.

    …erm

    £12,898 according to SteamDB at today’s prices

    In my defense I’ve had my account for 20 years and had humble bundle monthly/choice for like a third of that time, so the real number is hopefully not quite that

      Oh, I didn’t know that was a thing. Only $1,746 for me. Pretty sure my wife’s is much more, but she’s hidden her games.
